I’ve seen many posts, as well as received private messages, asking why content was removed or rejected; here’s a simple checklist to exponentially increase your probability of approval.
- Remove/crop any black bars/borders around photos before posting your set.
- Keep topic titles, and posts, PG, accurate, and straight to the point.
- Do not post pictures, or videos, of subjects in private dwellings, or of any colleagues/coworkers (i.e: inside dorm rooms, apartments, washrooms, classrooms, houses (or residential properties), workplace areas, breakrooms, backrooms, or any area typically not accessible to the general public)
- Rotate photos in an upright orientation.
- Post a minimum of 3 pictures or more.
- No more than 3 topics, per day.
- Wait until your photos have finished uploading before posting.
- No external links as watermarks.
- No photos containing -18 subjects (background or otherwise - no exceptions). If we can’t tell if the subject is +18, we don’t approve it.
- Do not post NON-OC content already on the forum. And make sure you credit the owners work.
- Avoid posting low-quality photos (blurry, out of view, far away, etc.)
- Do not post, or request, identifying information. Or ask for trades.
- Do not repost content already removed by the system or our staff
- It’s a candid site. Do not post anything else.
- Do not promote, or otherwise encourage, harmful behavior towards subjects, including following them.
- Do not make, or imply, remarks that are overtly-sexual, or in any way disparaging about any subject posted to this forum. (Meaning the use of any derogatory language to demean or objectify a subject)
- Do not remove, obscure, or otherwise alter photos in a way to circümvent community guidelines (i.e : mods have to confirm photos were taking in public, and with subjects of age)
- Do not post any form of nudity (partial nudity, exposed genitalia, transparent clothing, etc)
- Solicitation is prohibited. Do not solicit users for likes, comments, or any engagement in regards to this community.
- Do not post, or imply, ANY incestuous content (family, extended family, etc).
- Lastly, do not violate any of the community guidelines. NOT specifically mentioned in this post. It is your responsibility as a user to know, and comply, to all the rules and guidelines of this forum. Failure to do so may result in disciplinary action that can lead to the suspension, and/or banishment, of your account.
Disclaimer: Any and all content posted on this website is subject to revisions and/or removal at the behest of its staff. If we deem anything posted to be generally distasteful, lacking of purpose, or otherwise doesn’t align with (or reflect) the spirit of this community, it may be removed at our discretion. Put simply, a topic/post adhering to all of our guidelines is NOT a GUARANTEE from being removed in the future. This is to ensure we encourage quality at all times, while deterring bad actors whom wish to exploit any possible ambiguity in the language used as a means to be disruptive to staff and/or users, or post distasteful content.
Moreover, if any topic or post appears to violate any of our community guidelines, we as staff reserve the right to act accordingly to protect the interests of this forum. For example, if a topic appears to have been taken in a private dwelling, or with a subject not of age, a mod may remove it at their discretion. A user, however, also reserves the right to challenge the mods decision if they have definitive evidence proving the content aligns with our policies, through proper channels - more details below.
Lastly, this is not a file hosting website or cloud service! Do not post photos here with the intent that they will be backed up by the website or its staff. Content on the website is subject to our community guidelines and may be removed at any time. Staff is not obligated to keep a copy of your files on record, and anything you submit can be permanently deleted without the possibility of it being retrieved. Please backup any files or photos you do not wish to lose at your own leisure.
If a user feels like a topic or post of theirs has been unjustifiably removed, they can reach out via PM for possible resolution options. We ask that, before reaching out:
- You’ve read, fully understand, and have complied to all of our community guidelines, as stated.
- That the purpose of you reaching out isn’t to solicit favors, or for staff to make concessions based on any particular circümstance(s). (i.e - you are a new user, you have been gone for awhile, etc.)
